A Mania for Pinchlng.

For some weeks past the feminine
world of New Orleans has been terror
lied by a strange man styled The
Pincher," who recently made his APP
pearance here, writes a New Orleans
correspondent of the New York Nail
and Express. He was first noticed
few days before Christmas. During
the holidays Canal, the chief retail
street of the city, is always crowded,
mainly with women shopping. While
in front of one of the stores where the
crowd was densest, young lady felt
someone pinch her SO severely on the
leg that she could with difficulty avoid
crying out She looked around to see q
tall man, his face turned away from
her, elbowing his way rapidly through
the throng. The next day several
young ladies were similarly pinched.
Most of them kept quiet about the mat
ter, desiring to avoid a scene, and be-
Geving that they might have been mis-
taken about the identity of the pincher.
The thing was kept up for week
without being made public, and several
hundred young women were pinched.
They had kept it to themselves, but
finally condolences were exchanged and
arms and legs exhibited, and it then
came out that the pinchcr had been
carrying on the business regularly and
Systematically, and had so far succeed
ed in avoiding exposure. On Saturday
last he went to the matinee at the
opera-house, where he successfully
pinched number of young women.
BY this time, however, he was known
to many of the women folks, and the
circumstances were related by them
and husbands and brothers informed.
As soon as the matter thus became
public the extent of the villains OPP
erations came out, and it was found
that no inconsiderable number of
young ladies had been attacked by him.
His operations had been confined main
ly to Canal and Royal streets and to
the matinees, where crowds were dense
and men were few. He would walk
rapidly through the crowd, catching
some woman by the arm or leg as he
did so, and pinch her. 1t was some
thing worse than pinch; rather q
clutch of the hand, in which all the
fingers were used, and the result was
a serious wound. When these facts
were made known there was intense
Indignation. The States and several
other city papers called attention to
the affair, and published the following
description of the pincher:
Tall, with large nose, on the hawk
bill order; dark eyes; large black or
dark-brown mustaahe; dresses well and
wears high silk hat; rather Jewish in
appearance; would Judge him to be a
stranger in the city; age apparently be-
tween 80 and 40.
And the proposition was that, if
caught, the pincher should be promptly
tarred and feathered, if not treated to
some worse punishment. The publ
cation, however, had the desired effect,
for the pincher grew alarmed and has
not since been seen on the street, and
leaves behind him only number of
black-and-blue spots An inyestga-
ton has disclosed the fact that this
morbid admirer of pinching was a
young Englishman of good family and
of some wealth, and complete stranger
here.

The Senate adjourned for the Holidays
without confirming Lamars nomination
to the Supreme Court bench. This does
not necessarily dispose of Lamar's candi-
dacy, but it sets him back a little and evil
IDENTIFY sets his friends thinking. Tie
question is not so much as to Lamar's
scholarly abilities, but hinges more upon
the fact that he is one of those Southern
ers who reconstruct" very slowly and
with perhaps less enthusiasm in the pro-
cess than is desirable or advisable. The
President is conceded the right to choose
his own advisers without unnecessary re-
, view by the Senate, yet this nomination
should be closely scrutinized, and there is
certainly no harm in postponing the cons
frmation until after the Holidays.
Mr.. Lamar's position is not like that oc-
cupied by many other Southern men who
have received the unqualified approval of
th@Senate, and of the people, since the
war ended. Not by one word, or sign,
has he ever indicated any change of heart
since he espoused the cause of rebellion
against his Government, and stigmatized
Lincoln as clown" and drunken
fool. Other and better men fought in
the lost cause, believing in the right Of
a State to secede from the Union, and
have since heartily and honestly avowed
their error and expressed regret at having
been misled, but Mr.. Lamar has done
nothing of the kind. He is not of the
lumber who gall tburied the Ratchet
and put the past behind them. This is
not question Of bloody shirt but it is
question whether man whose views on
questions of grave National concern are
to say the least, doubtful, is fit to sit on
the bench before which such questions
NAV come for review. Besides all this, a
candidate for seat on the Supreme Court
bench should enjoy a private character
above reproach. Lamar's temper has more
than once brought him into disgrace by
exhibitions of that infirmity There are
also rumors of an unpleasant scandal, with
the customary lady in the case, which
1t is hoped may prove baseless. There is
no question but that Lamars nomination
is hung up as enc not fit to be made, yet
there is as little doubt that the President
viii insist upon his appointment.

The Real Issue.

1t is needless to say that the Presidents
last message to Congress was received
by the English press as glad tidlngs of
great joy. How could it be otherwise?
Are not English industries suffering from
a stagnation in business that has affected
that country more than any other in the
world? So much so, in fact, that special
commissions have been appointed by the
upon remedies for the depression. There
has even been talk of a change in the
fiscal policy of the Government. To any
one who understands the feeling in
England, who remembers with what a
blowing Of trumpets the revenue policy
of Great Britain was reyolutionized not
to which the trade depression has stirred
the people can be understood. England
is naturally Free Trade country. 1t
has dealings with every nation on earth.
Under the Free Trade policy, the trade
of the nation spread rapidly in all direc-
lions. 1t has been developed by pro-
tective policy until it became too enor-
nous to be confined within the narrow
limits of the British Isles and the British
colonies. and so burst forth to seek other
fields and pastures new. In time, it was
compelled to compete with other growing
nations. The advance made by Germany
within the past ten or fifteen years has
been great source of trouble to British
traders The commerce of England,
which had outgrown itself somewhat,
was compelled to contract, while the
producing capacity of the country either
remained unchanged or increased little.
Under these circumstances, why would
not Great Britain welcome the leveling
down of the protective barriers which
shield our internal trade and preserve 1t
to ourselves2 A richer commerce than
that of the United States, between the
various cities, towns and States, between
the individuals, is not to be found on the
face of the globe. Is it any wonder that
the English press, which reflects the feel
ings and sentiments OF the people, re-
joices at the prospect? England would
profit in consequence of leveling of our
tariff duties-because England, as q high
iy developed producing country, lies
nearer to our shores-ratner than any
other country. The means of communi
cation are direct; the art of manufac-
turing is further advanced than in other
countries, and the wages paid to labor
are in many cases lower. Is it any won
der that we find the London Economist
the leading English financial journal
saying of Mr.. Cleveland's message that
sit would be difficult to speak too high
ly Of it; that it lis a model of clear, Wig
orous statement, and puts the arguments
in favor of tariff reduction with con-
vincing force? The editor of the Lon
don EcononztSt is too good judge of
what a great State paper should be to
say that Mr.. Cleveland's message cannot
be too highly spoken Of Certainly, Mr..
Cleveland's statements were clear
enough, and his arguments FOR Free
Trade were convincing enough, but are
the people of this country to please them
selves in this matter, or Great Britain?
Are they to look after the interests Of
British commerce. or the protection of
their own? This is the issue that the
Democratic party presents. Sentinel

The Banner, like some other weak
kneed Democratic papers, evades the real
issue by pretending that the Democracy
intend only to revise the tariff. If a
"iudicious revision" of the tariff is all
that the Democratic Congress intends,
that is one thing but if las we suspect
they propose to revise so radically that it
will amount to free trade, then it becomes
quite another matter-and serious mat
ter, too, for this country.

Rev. Hugh O. Pentecost, the cratic pas
tor of Belleville avenue church, Newark,
who discarded his pulpit robes and buckl-

campaign, is now floundering about for
something to do. He entertains vague
scheme of some sort OF universal church
according to his peculiar idea of inter
weaving religion and politics-with not
enough of either to hurt, but with Pente-
cost the central figure between the two.
Some of his old congregation want him to
return while others have had enough of
him, and are not slow in saying so. Ere
the blue birds mate again he may have set
tied on something to his liking
